Body Parts Fill in the Blank Sentences (1st Grade)

About this worksheet

Eight short sentences about using our bodies, each missing one word: I read a book with my eyes, I catch a ball with my hands, I brush my teeth every morning and night, I put socks on my feet. A word bank and a small picture next to every sentence help first graders choose. The key on page 2 has the words filled in. First graders, about ages 6 to 7, can read the words and write them on their own.

Tips for using it

• Before any worksheet, play "touch your...": call out a body part and have kids touch it on themselves. The labels stick much faster after the body has done it.
• On the labeling pages, read the word bank aloud together first and cross each word out once it is used.
• For the cut and paste page, cut the word cards first and lay them on the table; younger kids can glue them while you read.
• Pair the measuring page with real objects: connecting cubes, paper clips or LEGO bricks all work as units.
